This is last week’s news: a Chinese spacecraft would have almost collided with another satellite in Earth’s outer orbit.
Earth’s orbit is getting crowded with satellites, junk, and debris.
More and more satellites are being sent into space for various reasons.
We need to send new satellites, but where? To where?
There is debris too in Space.
Who would recall old satellites, and who would take debris out of space?
Who owns the Space? The world’s richest or is it divided equally among all people of planet Earth?
Space belongs to us all!
Through it passes sunlight towards us! And through it we peek out to stars and galaxies.
How can we keep the empty space going forward?
If one satellite breaks, it can create a large debris field in space that can affect other satellites.
Let’s think of it. Space belongs to us all, just like Earth belongs to us all.
Since we have our countries, we should have space we can own in Earth’s outer orbit too.
We should claim our space.
We should ask the owners to clean the debris in the Earth’s outer atmosphere.
Otherwise, it can be hazardous to others’ interests.
It’s time we built a United Nations topic on Outer Earth Health!
We need global talks on who can put a satellite into outer space, the space for take-offs from Earth, and for a clear view of the stars.
Let’s deal with it with global corporations.
